What if I gave them all of my information and my CC?
Contact your bank for help before your CC is used fraudulently.
Phone number on my text is: 447435558857.I thought it was my delivery :( I gave them my address, sadly but I didn't click the link and I put it in Google search instead. The page looks exactly like USPS website and includes links that all look legit for USPS
I just got this yesterday. Glad I researched before I gave them my address!
I received one too but didn't do anything because I search the package number online and it couldn't find anything with that number. Would I still be getting the package no matter what?
Its a scam
I put in my address and email but did not put in my cc because when I realized it was probably a scam. Can they do anything with my email or address?
You provided this information after I had already sent them what they asked for which was the address and phone number and name. Your instructions were very confusing, which led me to do what I should not have done.
They using this number to scam me
What to do if you fell for it tho? Cancel your cc?
Yes, if you have submitted your credit card information on the phishing website you were taken to after clicking the link.
[US/P.S]::Your package has been stopped due to lack of address details, please complete your address: https://www.us-ksran.usFrom 7208712522
820-758-8169 US9514961195221 package cannot be delivered and offers to redeliver. If you click on anything else on the fake website the links don't work. It ask you to pay to redeliver the package, which I have never had USPS do. It's a scam.
Your package could not be to schedule delivery because street address does not match your zip code, please update hxxps://lkojm.topFrom 415-610-9174
I JUST RECEIVED FROM PHONE NUMBER 986-600-8132SAYS: "YOUR SHIPPING ORDER IS ON HOLD DUE TO AN INCOMPLETE STREET ADDRESS IN THE SHIPPING INFORMATION. CHECK, PLEASE. WIDECONVEYT.INFO/RUDR
FAKE!!! I just got the same tracking number and the text came from 973-517-5630 the phone number. I did click the link and the page that pops up looks incredibly real until you click any of the listed links or FAQ button. Either nothing or puts the cursor back at the top. I have a shipping account with USPS already so just went to the site on my desktop and entered the fake tracking in the real site and nothing. FAKE!!!
Well I got this in a text message and stopped when it got to saying I needed to pay $3 for redelivery when it don’t cost that where I live in indiana.
I got the same thing from 904-749-2805. Really, people should know better to follow ANY link with a tinyurl.
(646) 919-3552 sent me the same message earlier
Just got it from 754-231-6942
The same Number sent me the message
They are using a fake usps website which it should be a federal offense and FBI should be tracking these people down. They use a number 17756921694 also
1 (205) 899-1265 Same thing! They want all your info! Beware of so many scams out there now!
From 1 (469) 867-6476Your street address is not the same as your postal code, we cannot deliver your package, please update your address in time. hxxps://ups-tyvcri.usLink had the same tracking number
Received from 1 (929) 823-0137Your package is in the distribution center and cannot be delivered due to incorrect location information. please update. US-Postal_Service hxxps://www.us-pow.usIf you check the link it has the same tracking number listed here. That’s how I found this post.
Received this today:The website looked real but and I tried to check shipping order I came upon this website. Upon further inspection info looked off on orig link. FYI. Thank you!Phone # was: 872-305-1256Your shipping order is on hold due to an incomplete street address in the shipping information. Check, please. usputorengt.info/Nwef
Received one from 207-252-7286. It says “Your package will not be delivered to you due to the incomplete house number, please fill out….to link”. I am actually expecting a package so fell for the address verification. Hope I am not compromised as a result. Is there any recourse for this one? Thanks,
Received one from (409) 919-5233I wasn't expecting anything so it seemed odd. glad I looked it up!
Received one from (269) 307-4371US9514961195221
Same as above I track packages & have 3 outstanding. Clicked on link
I clicked the link, too! Are we gonna be okay?
I got the same text. Checked any shipments I had coming thru any app, NOTHING MATCHED. Since I am signed up for updates from USPS, I initially clicked on the text link but IMMEDIATELY STOPPED BECAUSE THE "tracking number" WAS TOO SHORT & they wanted name, address, etc. I IMMEDIATELY BLOCKED AND REPORTED AS SPAM. This all happened within less than ten seconds.
1 (786) 854-0737 sent me the same message. The website it directs you to looks like the USPS website but none of the links work, except for the lines where they ask for your personal information. The second screen will ask you for a credit card to charge the re-delivery fee. This is a scam to collect your personal information and to charge you money.
(256)879-8448 just sent one to me aswell called the number it is a mobile device.
901-645-1495 did the samething to me
Just got same message from same number. What makes it even worse: I fell for an online clothing scam, cost me $46, and I thought this was the package!62 years old and got scammed.....shame on me
I just received one 8582981731 for tracking US9514961195221. Definitely a scam. The website looks legitimate.
"Package has been put hold because the Street Number is missing from the package." ...
Coincidentally awaiting a package. Some indicators that this was spam - usptpipack not usps, which was not valid on any internet search No other functions on fake site worked except the fill in forms. Phone number in my case 7438371335 went to answer machine, and USPS tracking numbers do not start with "US". Forward suspicious texts to US Postal Inspection Service. If you receive a suspicious email or text about a package delivery failure, forward it to spam-uspis.gov, then delete the email.
Another tell for me was that it was from UPS in the URL but said it was a USPS tracking number. These are 2 different companies and are not affiliated with each other in any way.
I received this from a different phone number. Found this page when I searched the tracking number. I did notice that the copyright on the fake USPS landing was 2020, that is a good indicator of a scam.
I submitted my info haha now what!? I didn't go further after the address and phone number, name
So I only clicked the link because I had been waiting for a package. Is there any cause for concern since I only clicked the link? I never sent any info.
You should be ok since you did not submit any information on the phishing website that you were taken to.
I received this text but from number (213) 519-1669
I received the text from phone number 786-816-8393. A Google search of the alleged tracking number brought me to this page.
I just received one from a different phone number but I already deleted it.
